New Paris, Ohio Application February 24, 1947, Serial No. 230,624 4 Claims.- (01. 93-;93)

V The invention herein shown and described is adapted to be used in connection with a banding mechanism which is shown and described in our application entitled Banding mechanisms, Serial No. 699,122, filed September 25, 1946, the principal object of the invention being to provide means receiving the folded and banded paper strips from the banding mechanism as the same are expelled therefrom.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means positioned V in adjacent relation with a banding mechanism for orderly spindling paper strips thereon and thereby saving the time ordinarily required toremove the same from a receptacle, and to arrange them in orderly fashion.

A further object is the provision of a receiving pin which is removable from the device and which has one end thereof provided for the transfer of the paper strips therefrom onto a second pin. a 1

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a device which is simple of construction, and which is economical to manufacture.

Other objects and particular advantages of the invention will become further apparent in the course of the following description, and that which is new will be'pointed out in the appended claims.

The preferred, and most satisfactory manner of carrying out the principles of theinvention in a practical manner is shown in 'the' accompanying two sheets of drawings, in which:

Figure '1 is 'a side elevation of the device, with the same being shown in connection with a banding mechanism and being secured to the base member of the banding mechanism. v

Figure 9 is an elevational detail showing the receiving pin positioned on a second pin for the purpose of transferring the threaded paper strips from the receiving pin onto the second pin.

Like characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views. 7

In order that the advantages of the invention may be more fully understood and appreciated, we will now take up a detailed description thereof, in which the samewill be more fully set forth.

The spindling device has a main body member comprised of a bar 8 having forwardly-extending offset portion 9 formed therein, and with a lower portion l0 being formed below the ofiset 9. A forwardly-extending foot portion H is formed at the lower end of the body member and has an aperture formed therein for the reception of the lower-end of receiving pin 20.

The upper end portion of the body, is angularly disposed forwardly and forms an incline l2, the purpose. of which willbe more fully set forth hereinafter. s

A guide member [3 is secured to oneside of the upper portion of the 'body and is secured thereto by means of screw 14. The upper portion l5 of guide member I3 is curved toward the banding mechanism, with a curved forward extension I6 being formed thereon. The curved forward portion has a downwardly and rearwardly extended portion ll formed thereon.-

It will be noted, by referring especially to Figures 5' and 8, that the upper end portion of incline I2 is positionedslightly above the tangential line of gripping rollers 4 and 5, and also that the lower surface of the portion [1 is slightly below the tangential line ofthe rollers, and with the extreme rear end of portion I! being slightly above the tangential line of the rollers.

.The body member .is secured-in fixedrelation to the banding mechanism bymeans of screw It being threaded into the. base member 6. Pivotal movement of the body member on screw I 8 is prevented by means of pins l9 which extend through the body member and into the base 6, as

more clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2,

A receiving pin member 20 is removably set into the aperture formed in the foot portion H, and with a conical-shaped aperture 2| being formed in the lower end of the pin 20, as more clearly shown in Figures 1, 2, and 9. The upper end portion of pin 20 is pointed, with the point amen with rollers 2 and 3 and therebetween, after which the strips are engaged by rollers 4 and 5. As the paper strips progress, the outer ends thereof project outwardly beyond the ends of the rollers. As the paper strips 24 are engaged between rollers 4 and 5, the outer ends of thestrips engage the incline I2 of the bar 8, and with the continued forward movement of the strips, the outer ends thereof are bent slightly upward in their passage over the incline surface [2. The forward edges of the paper strips, after passing betweeii rollers 4 and}, engage the under surface of portionl1 of the guide member and with the engagementtherewith forcing the leading edges of the strips s htly downward. Ihe action of the inc-line l1 and the under surface or portion l1 causes the apertures 25 of the strips 24 to engage the point of the receiving pin 20 and, upon engagement with the point, the strips slide downwardly on the re'ceiviiig pin. I

When a suffieient number of paper strips have accumulated on the rec'eiviiig pin, the pin is rempve'd from the foot n, after which the paper strips are transferred to a second pin "22 which has a base 23 secured to the ower "endther'of. Pin 22 has a point formed at the upper end thereof and which is adapted to engage the conical-shaped aperture 21 or receiving pin 20, as more clearly shown inr'igpre 9 After trie pape'r strips have been transferred to pin 22, piazza is again reset into the aperture formed in foot I I It will be obvious that considerable time is saved by the use of the spindling device over the conventional manner of permitting the paper strips to fall into a receptacle from the banding mechanism, after which the must be removed and stacked or otherwise rearranged. With the present inventiom the strips are merely transferred from the receiving pin to a second pin for storage, or for'bther urposes.

Although the preferred rrib'iidifilrit (if the 1-hvention has been shown and described; we desire that it be understood that minor changes maybe made in the several parts and in 'the arrangement thereof, insofar as the changes there in may fall within the scope "of the appended claims.

Having now shown and described the inven tion, what we claim, is: r
